A simple link to bbPress in WordPress MU

I have done all the Buddypress integration and login is great and my buddypress groups can post, etc. But I have found no integration (widgets or whatever) to show bbPress on WordPress sidebars and most importantly I have no idea how to get a link button integrated into WordPress MU (my other addins put one there on the top menu for me.

If I can avoid another night hacking the templates it wold be great since the integration already took 2 days!

If I may not be tedious – but I am just getting started and appreciate the help.

Is there some documentation that will show me how to get a menu to be inserted in the pages for the discussion board (rather than trying to hack the HTML and PHP (which is not one of the languages I write in right now). I know when I installed the events module that it inserted an events button in the main menus across the site.
